Marlins Weekend

Didn’t think we would go the entire season with one loss. Bullpen had gone 29.1 consecutive innings without allowing a home run until the fateful eighth yesterday.

So, we move on to tonight. Charlie’s creed: play one game at a time. May sound boring, but it works.

First homestand ends with three games against the Marlins (starting tonight) and then a nine-game trip to Atlanta, Phoenix and San Francisco. Tough trip that ends against that tough Giants pitching staff.
